Artaxerxes made an edict which, unfortunately, we no longer possess in its original form. The later redaction which has been preserved to us, :|: written in a Jewish spirit, exaggerates the king's gracious orders. But unless it altogether misrepresents the tendency of the original, Ezra got leave to go to Judaea, with those who should join him, and important sub- sidies were granted him for the journey ; he further obtained privileges and exemption from taxes for the temple at Jerusalem and its... servants ; and finally, he was empowered to test the condition of his nation by " the law of his God, which was in his hand, "§ to organize the administration of justice in accordance with that law, II and to take the necessary steps to make it known. IT It speaks well for the distinction which Ezra enjoyed among the exiles, that so many of them declared themselves ready to go to Judsea under his leading.
